I am not sure how many times I have been to Canada at this point. My Mom was born there and we used to go at least 4 times a year growing up to visit our relatives. What a wonderful and refreshing place.

I absolutely loved going there and still enjoy visiting very much. Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal are very special, beautiful and clean cities. Here are a few funny pictures that illustrate reasons to love this great country!

People are driving convertibles with the top down during snowstorms.

Even the grafitti is pleasant.

This is how police and rowdy crowds fight.

This is a typical traffic jam.

Headlines like this exist.

You need a special mitten to hold hands with someone.

Do you like Canada?

What is your favorite place to visit?

Have you ever seen a moose or other wildlife?

I look forward to reading your comments.

Hi Merrill.
I have always enjoyed visiting Canada in summer/fall. I have been to Toronto (many times), Montreal, Magnetawan, Winnepeg, Vancouver, Vancouver Island, Sechelt as well as the Yukon Territory all of which were great in their own way. Love the international flare of Toronto, the old world feel of Montreal, the fact that I felt like I’d stepped into a country movie set in a Winnepeg bar, the secluded feel of my friend’s resort in Sechelt (Rockwater Secret Cove), the fact that when we arrived in Magnetawan, it felt like we doubled the population of this small and beautiful lake town and the gardens and mild weather of Vancouver and Vancouver Island.
As for moose and other wild life – I saw moose, bears, Bald Eagles while traveling from Alaska to the Yukon Territories and black beers in Magnetawan.
Love the pics you have posted, especially the special mittens.

The best neighbors you could ever hope to live next door to… they’re polite, generally quiet, and they keep their country nice and clean.
My favorite Molson commercial is attached… My Name is Joe and I am Canadian (worth watching if you’ve never seen it)!

10. That one can get certain drugs that are prescription only here in the USA, there for less and they are over the counter.

9. Poutine – a common Canadian dish (originally from Quebec), made with french fries, topped with brown gravy and cheese curds. Hmmmm good. So popular they serve it in the food courts at Canadian Costcos

8. Montreal – I often tell people that if they cannot afford an European holiday then all they need to do is visit Montreal.
